ann didn't have an opening statement so much as a sustained one. He moved the curve by inches in the first quarter — a clean look here, a contested stop there — and let the game come to him.
The second quarter is where it broke open — mann 3pt running jump shot (3 pts) (saraf 1 ast) (+1.9). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
The fourth was control. Mann closed at -5.0 without needing a final flourish to get there.
